a long playlist this week, and already a little late, so i’ll try to be brief. several physicals, 2 cds from yannick dauby’s kalerne label, a limited cdr version of an online release by jonáš gruska, and a very beautiful (and beautifully packaged) cd by giovanni lami (sounds recorded to, buried on, and subsequently dug up and recovered from cassette tape). also an unreleased submission by monikapich, and several more sounds from the aporee soundmaps.

this week one of our favorite radio stations – certainly our favorite station that we’re not aired on – kfjc, in los altos hill, california, broadcast a 4-hour special focusing on framework radio and my solo work as murmer. dj abacus finch played lots of sounds from framework editions releases, and also played this entire edition as part of his show. so finally, framework has been aired on kfjc! the whole thing is available for streaming from their archives, which was be found here:

look for the hours from 2-6pm on may 23rd, hosted by abacus finch, and you’ll hear us. […]

CHOOLTD. HOTCOLD. This is second installment of another Soundorganism destined for Framework Radio. These Soundsketches contain (and will contain) various episodes inspired by my ordinary and extraordinary Soundenvironments, which includes also creative-process-fragments from my Soundactivities and spoken or sung thoughts. Still clumsy, but getting slowly more in balance. Normality re-installed? […]

many fine sounds this week as spring springs quite manically here in southeast estonia. feels like just yesterday the last snows were melting, and now it’s 25C and the lawn needs to be cut. so save this show for cool evening listening – for now, go outside! […]

#550! 2016.05.01 [slavek kwi]

this edition of framework:afield is the first of a multi-part series produced in ireland by slavek kwi, aka artificial memory trace, entitled soundlife. for more information see http://www.artificialmemorytrace.com. notes from slavek:

ARTIFICIAL MEMORY TRACE
presents
SOUNDLIFE CHAPTER 1:
PROPAGANDA, FRAGMENTATION AND CONFUSION (IN MANY LAYERS)

Since I became a father, my immediate sound environment and its perception changed rather dramatically. Also relation to the time, before perceived as basically amorphous entity – nowadays became a moment with very definite boundaries. My week is composed from Sounday (if lucky Sounday with “s” on the end) and the other Days (always with “s”). My Soundays are increasingly more and more dense. In every sense. Sometimes I am so exhausted that I am sleeping first half of my Sounday hoping the second half-day will be dedicated to Sounds, which means: exclusively to my Sounds and in association with cherished collaborations with my fellow Soundpeople.

#547: 2016.04.10

we’re back folks! if you hadn’t heard, we departed for the month of march for the very best of reasons – on self-imposed paternity leave, to welcome a new pair of ears into our house. it’s been quite a month, but we’re happy to be back in the studio, which is only upstairs, so we can still be on call whenever paternal duty calls. we welcome our beautiful new daughter to the framework fold!

meanwhile, there was another arrival during our break: the newest issue in our fund-raising framework:seasonal series, issue #8, spring 2016, was officially released on the spring equinox, and we’re very excited about. once again it features an all new cast of characters, ten artists who have never before appeared on one of our releases, several new names, and several that we’re sure you’ll recognise. never-before-heard works by blanca rego, christopher delaurenti, christina kubisch, stephanie spray, darius ciuta, cathy lane, julia hanadi al abed, martin kay, magali babin, and rodolphe alexis. we make these releases to thank our wonderful supporters for donating and helping to make the show possible; they are automatically sent out to all supporters who subscribe to donate 5€ per month or more, or they are available in as a thank-you for one-time donations of 20€ of more. so please, show framework you care, and sign up on the right for a monthly subscription, or make a one-time donation, and pick up a set of these awesome sounds! we know you care – help us celebrate (and support) our new set of ears!

in this show we took a listen to the first five tracks from the release, along with a palate of recent favorite recordings culled from our favorite place, the aporee soundmaps. we began with a domestic intro recorded for us by regular contributor (and contributor to framework:seasonal #6) slavek kwi (aka artificial memory trace).

we’ve got a big pile of releases on our desk, some of which have been waiting for a very long time to get on the framework airwaves. it’s always a tricky balance keeping up with new and current submissions without forgetting about the ones that are waiting. the truth is, we simply can’t get to it all, but that’s not for wont of trying. so, a few very patient submissions make it into our playlist this week – two works by terje paulsen from a handmade cdr labeled ‘unreleased’ that have since both appeared on labels, and ottoanna’s debut cd release from 2014. maybe not so old, but soon we’ll start digging deeper into the pile.

these were accompanied by some more recent arrivals – ánde somby’s amazing yoiks, recorded on location in norway by chris watson. toy bizarre’s latest effort as part of drone records’ substantia innominata 10″ vinyl series. some unreleased works by a few new names to our playlists. and another selection of sounds from the aporee soundmaps.
